Here's the translation of the first chapter into English:
Chapter One:
Kim Fang
18 years old
Korean
Parents divorced
"Ugh... I hate these days. School... Hmph..."
For him, life is an endless battlefield. Dark days followed by hours of loneliness, emotions raging between anger and despair. Nothing in this world is worth happiness, as his parents constantly exchange insults, each trying to portray the other in the worst light. It's as if they're all trapped in an inescapable spiral.
But there's something about his features. A latent strength in his yellow eyes, smooth dark skin, and black hair that hides a world of untold stories. His body is covered with tattoos, and his ears are pierced with multiple holes—each mark a symbol of the endless inner battles he faces.
Despite all this, girls follow him wherever he goes. Everyone tries to understand the secret behind the mysterious allure he carries. But there is one person he can't escape challenging... Jenny.
Jenny
17 years old
Latina
Wealthy
Her hair is soft brown, reaching her neck, and her amber eyes are filled with confidence and charm. Jenny is the girl that no one can ignore—bold, confident, and arrogant. However, she sees nothing in Fang but a constant challenge.
"You're ugly, Fang. You need to take those piercings out of your ears. You look worse with them!"
Her voice was full of sarcasm, trying to impose her opinion, but it didn't affect him.
"Here she is again, the spoiled girl who has nothing to do but talk about ugliness. Who are you to order me around?!"
But she doesn't stop, continuing her attack with mockery:
"Your life is dark, you gloomy one... We all have light, but you only see the darkness."
Jenny said with a mocking smile, and Fang responded with fiery anger:
"You're... stupid! Foolish, selfish, disgusting!"
"You're... emotionless! Crazy, rude, revolting!"
These words were thrown back and forth in a verbal battle, each trying to prove to the other that they were stronger.
John
18 years old
Pure Korean
"They're both equally rude..." John said as he drank his strawberry milk.
"Yeah... for the first time, I agree with you," said Catherine as she took a bite of John's pie.
John quickly replied, "You're greedy, I lost my appetite. You can have it."
Catherine
17 years old
Korean / German
Jenny's friend since elementary school.
While the two were throwing words at each other, Catherine observed the scene with a slight smile.
After the argument:
Fang was sitting on the school rooftop, thinking about his life, about everything except the place he was in right now. He wished there was a peaceful place he could return to, a place where this chaos didn't exist. Suddenly, he felt something hit his head hard.
"Ouch, that hurt!"
It was his friend John.
"The weather's nice, huh?" John said, smiling enthusiastically.
Fang looked at him with disdain and said, "Not really."
John smiled sarcastically and said, "Cheer up, buddy. Let's skip math class and head to the basketball court."
On the other side, in the classroom:
Jenny was sitting in silence, gazing out the classroom window. She felt a bit bored until Catherine pinched her, saying:
"Hey, winner, why are you so gloomy today?"
"Cathy, stay away from me. I don't want to talk."
Jenny said coldly.
"Hmmm, and I thought you'd be happy to hear I'll buy you a honey pie on my tab... I tried it from Jin, and I really liked it. Let's go buy one before they run out."
Jenny smiled faintly and said, "Yes, let's go."
The First Meeting of the Quartet:
In the schoolyard, after a little play, the four of them gathered together: Fang, John, Jenny, and Catherine.
Fang was holding the ball, glancing left and right, then looked over at Jenny, who was leaning against a nearby wall.
"You, why didn't you come watch us?" he asked her sarcastically.
Jenny smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Your games don't interest me."
"Oh, really?" Fang said as he tried to stop the ball with his foot.
John, who was watching the scene, smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, right? Don't take everything so seriously."
Catherine, who was watching the scene closely, laughed and said, "Looks like you two are going to be friends soon."
"Friends?! I think you're mixing things up!" Fang said angrily.
But at that moment, Jenny felt a sense of calm. Maybe everything wasn't so bad. Maybe there was something about this ongoing conflict that drew her in.
"Are you guys ready to play?" Catherine said with a serious tone.
Fang looked at her and said, "Let's see who's the best."
